There was a time in professional football that forward passes were actually illegal. Thankfully, those days are now long gone. In the modern NFL, having a talented pass catcher can be the difference between a winning season and losing one, a Super Bowl victory or playoff heartbreak. Not always though — just ask Calvin Johnson about his years toiling away as a star receiver on an awful Detroit Lions team.

In recent years, outstanding wideouts like Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr. have wowed audiences (and sometimes seem to defy physics) with their circus-like catches. Teams are less and less reliant on having a strong running game, with quarterbacks preferring to throw their way down the field. There’s a reason that Dan Marino, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees have ALL broke the all-time passing yard record, one after another, in the past 15 years.

In this quiz, we’ll show you a picture of a great wide receiver, along with a gentle clue about their exploits catching footballs. All you have to do is correctly identify them to prove your football fandom. Good luck!
